you know he’d eat himself. Here’s the Twilight Saga star working out. All he needs is a mirror to be complete. Just kidding.
As I am writing this from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s governing state, The Mighty Sunny California… what a role model of health and fitness and potential leadership in state governance Kellan Lutz is. Anything is possible for young actors. Fortunately/ unfortunately! :)
Yes it’s true. Twilight Saga, New Moon tickets that are being presold for the November 20th release date of the film, have almost sold out. That must be the scariest movie release date ever for Hollywood studios who are competing the weekend of November 20th against Stephenie Meyer’s epic love story at the box office.
Yes, it’s the best time for studios to reshuffle their film premiere schedules and dump all of their risky films at the box office at the same time as New Moon, if they want their good films to have a box office #1 reputation. Such is the Twilight effect on Hollywood. Oh, and did we mention that Native American Indian actors like Taylor Lautner, are helping reinvent Hollywood history’s film distribution wheel. History is being rewritten by the cast and crew of Twilight, at Stephenie Meyer’s skilled author’s vision, business brains and hands. Truly remarkable!
MovieTickets.com report how over a dozen of their New Moon show times have been totally sold out. Fandango reports 50—50!—sell-out New Moon screenings. Fandago are also officially reporting that New Moon is already its top-seller heading into this weekend. Comcast owns Fandango.
Congratulations to Summit Entertainment and Stephenie Meyers and cast, for marketing brilliance that reinvents the wheel in creating a demand for film distribution, that’s ahead of the game by 10 weeks. Wow!
New Moon’s saleable popularity with audiences is just more proof that a popular book series, turned into a movie series, is the one of the most desirable and wisest ways to go! The book is a powerful tool at cinemas. Twilight Saga readers and movie goers will also enjoy the love story Courage To Love by Californian author, Robert Ellis.
The Ten Top MTV VMA Awards moments of 2009 that stood out, were:
1. Michael Jackson’s footage of the King of Pop performing his greatest hits, was a level of performance, that perhaps only Beyonce is matching at this level, singing live and storytelling through constant, rigorous dance choreography. The posthumous footage of Jackson’s music videos and MJ live in concert, stole the show.
2 TIE A: Madonna’s speech for the King of Pop, showed class. The woman who has had the most successful tour ever in the history of music or a solo act this year and in a global recession; and who has amassed 40 #1 dance chart hits; the highest ever in the dance chart countdown by an artist… only Madonna could honor Jackson in a way that other American leaders couldn’t. She did. Wow! What a moment!
2. TIE B: Janet Jackson’s performance of her duet song with brother Michael, Scream was amazing. Janet is back.
4. Kanye West’s interruption of Taylor Swift’s speech, for Taylor’s first ever VMA award she’d won drew boos from the crowd. Of course this was staged (as was the Eminem and Bruno prank at the MTV Popcorn Awards earlier this year), but it seemed so real, even Pink tweeted about it before her performance. Kanye created a moment that stole the show.
Here’s the latest from the Twilight Saga’s New Moon movie trailer. Kristen Stewart’s Bella and Robert Pattinson’s Edward have an encounter in Water. Riveting stuff.
1. Foreword, Courage To Love by Robert Ellis: Throughout my life, my soul has seemed to record and mourn the numbers of soldiers and innocents who were killed in the wars of my time…
2. … from the Italian bombardment of Ethiopia and Spain in 1935-36….
3. … through the invasions of China, Czechoslovakia, WWII, Hiroshima, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq.
4. To stop this slaughter, my soul extends to the world this desert rose.
5. Prologue, Courage To Love: Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Mediterrannea, where we lay our scene.
6. From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
7. From forth the loins of these two foes, a pair of impetuous lovers risk their lives.
8. Aatini Nay by Fayrouz:Hand me the flute and hum . . . for singing is life’s secret
9. For only ashes remain . . . after life dies . . .
10. Have you taken the woods as a shelter . . . seeking streams and climbing rocks?
11. Have you bathed in the fields fragrance?
12. Hand me the flute, and hum . . . for escape is the best remedy
13. For people are nothing but lines . . . written in water.

Robert Pattinson’s new role in new Moon? Yes! As this video clip wont last long before it’s yanked by Summit Entertainment online, enjoy while it’s up.
Picture quality is good. Sound sucks. How befitting for a vampy vampire film! Enjoy.

Courage To Love by Californian author Robert Ellis is created and written in the spirit needed in American schools today. In a Shakespearean love story set in the Middle East two young people from opposite worlds, find love from a sense of honesty only found in accepting each others difference. So romantic. Read it. It’s a great book for all American school children … and kidults too. Cover artwork is by the legendary surrealist artist, Salvador Dali.
Because it is US Summer, here’s 10 Quotes by actor Robert Pattinson, of Twilight, Eclipse, New Moon, Little Ashes, Remember Me and now, Summerhouse fame. Happy Summer everyone!
On being an Actor:“I haven’t really decided to be an actor yet! I started doing plays when I was about 15 or 16. I only did it because my dad saw a bunch of pretty girls in a restaurant and he asked them where they came from and they said drama group. He said “Son, that is where you need to go.”
On having to sign autographs and their value: “I went to one of these signing conventions. It was one of the most interesting experiences I ve had. It was so strange that people would pay for autographs. You keep thinking you should do a little dance for them as well or something.”
On doing it the Jack Nicholson way: “I aspire to be Jack Nicholson. I love every single mannerism. I used to try and be him in virtually everything I did, I don’t know why. I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest when I was about 13, and I dressed like him. I tried to do his accent. I did everything like him. I think it’s kind of stuck with me.”
On his famous hair do, including the “coif”: ““Sometimes I just take my head out of my ass!”
On being financially driven and motivated: “I started doing a paper round when I was about 10. I started earning £10 a week and then I was obsessed with earning money until I was about 15.”
On being sexy and stupid all in one: “I’m a big hard tool”
On extending his range as an actor: “I am now determined to do really weird parts but I think I overdo it in auditions so nobody really trusts me! “
On his fight scene with Cam Gigandet: “I kicked his ass, because I don’t hold back. I fight like a little bitch. I’d bite and pull his pants down and stuff.”
On avoiding the paparazzi fan madness: “But instead I’m just getting more and more conspicuous; I’m wearing two hoods, a hat and sunglasses, which kind of stands out in the middle of the night. So I’m learning to sprint.”
On dealing with his success in film: “Sometimes I think, ‘To hell with acting,’ and then I realize I could be working at a shoe shop, acting is much cooler.”

More quotes were sourced from: RobertPattinsonOnline.Com. Pics from Robert Pattinson’s upcoming movie,Summerhouse, were sourced from TwilightSingapore.Com.
On Horiwood.Com we are a huge fan of author Stephenie Meyer and her cast of characters she created in the Twilight Saga book series. We also love her brilliance for giving young people in a recession film careers too, with the casting of Twilight’s big young super stars in her Summit Entertainment films. She’s an architect of Hollywood with the power of the pen. Love it.
But first up, here’s our hot pick of a Twilight Saga website that is a rising star. It’s called TwilightSingapore.Com and it is proof that fantastic things happen online outside of American in entertainment. Nice one Singapore! We feel you.
In honor of Stephenie Meyer, here’s our Top 10 Twilight Saga Websites on Horiwood.Com:
1. The Twilight Saga.Com – features a great interview with director Catherine Hardwicke and currently has a penchant for Taylor Lautner’s Jacob Black film character. Mainly centered around hawking Twilight’s latest merchandise for the film series the site is rated #1 on google.com’s search engines.
The latest merchandise being offered is a promotion featuring the cover for New Moon: The Official Illustrated Movie Companion which is to be published by Little, Brown on October 6th. The visual guide to the second Twilight fim features exclusive full-color photos of the cast, sets and locations and is the ultimate companion to the movie which hits theaters November 20th.
2. TwilightTheMovie.Com: This site needs Flash, version 10 to enjoy. It’s a very pretty site.
3. StephenieMeyer.Com: I love this site, for the other author book recommends that Stephenie Meyer writes about too. She’s a really humble literary bird. At the moment she recommends reading: Dreamhunterand Dreamquake by Elizabeth Knox. You just get the feeling with Stephenie Meyer, that she wants other really good authors to have the same success that she’s had. What a honey!
4. IMDB.Com: This website is the online industry bible in Hollywood, of who does what in film. Casting agents, all producers and directors refer to IMDB every day. Why I like it, is because IMDB has a message thread board, and many Twilight Fans comment on it, as to who and what should be in the future Twilight Saga films.
It does require a membership to have full access, but it’s so worth it, if you want to know what’s going on in Hollywood from an industry perspective. IMDB is also Twilight Eclipse actor, Robert Pattinson’s favorite website, along with the New York Times.
5. HisGoldenEyes.Com: You have to give creds to a fan website, that has become an official website of Summit Entertainment’s marketing team to use and do promotions through. That’s quite a feat for the creator of His Golden Eyes.Com to achieve. Why I like it, is because they are up to date and more current than any other Twilight Saga related site available.
Today HisGoldenEyes features this pic of Xavier Samuels snogging Bryce Dalls Howard (the girl who replaced Rachelle Lefevre) on set of the filming of Eclipse. Also, they sell their own merchandise too, like a “Bite Me Edward” tee shirt for screaming Twilight teen fan girls. They’re making money off Stephenie Meyer, and they’re doing it the best. Nice!
6. Twilighters.Org: Is a crazy fansite, dedicated to updates and news tips about the cast and crew. It also borrows heavily from Twilight’s branding, sticking to the color palate of Summit entertainment for their own website face. Today, it’s looking pretty good, plugging the New Moon Board Game. Stephenie Meyer loves anyone whose doing her work for her and selling her hot stuff, so I’ve got to give Twilighters.Org a shout out today for that! Nice one guys and girls! They are very similar to His Golden Eyes, borrowing a lot off their competitors. But still love them anyway!
New Moon Board Game features are:
✩ Enter the world of the Twilight Saga and reunite Bella and Edward
✩ Challenge your friends to see who knows more about New Moon, the more you know, the greater you chance of winning
✩ Includes board, Scene cards, playing pieces, and dice
✩ Answer questions about Twilight and your friends to move forward around the board
✩ Have your friends over for a New Moon party
To preorder the New Moon Board Game from Amazon.Com go here.
7. TwilightReview.Com: A younger site that is competing with the best Twilight Saga websites. They deserve a big shout out today. Hard work pays off.
8. TwilightGuy.Com: Any guy who says he’s not a Twilight fan, goes to TwiCon, and has this crazy website, is funny enough, to be an interesting Twilight News reporter in our book. Nice one Twilight Guy! Oh, and he’s also writing his own novel. Smart.
9. TwilightLexicon.Com: was dubbed by Stephenie Meyer as being “the brightest star in the Twilight online universe.” Anyone who knows what a lexicon is in the first place and sets up a website called that, deserves a spotlight today.
10. ETOnline.Com: All Twilight Saga websites benefit hugely from those rare and exclusive TV interviews with Twilight Saga stars. When New Moon and Eclipse is being filmed, it is Entertainment Tonight (ET) who is the largest entertainment news show in America who gets these exclusive interviews first. Websites and bloggers can’t do it alone, so ETonline.Com get a special mention for bringing the expensive TV component to keeping the Twilight fans happy all year round.

Kristen Stewart and Q’orianker Kilcher have Summit Entertainment’s Twilight Eclipse casting in common. Kristen’s casting as Bella Swan for the third film of Stephenie Meyers novels, proves Kristen Stewart is hot enough to make both Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen and Taylor Lautner’s Jacob Black both have chemistry, both onscreen and also in real life, with a cinematic association to the LA actress.
However, when put to public vote, it is Q’orianker Kilcher who is rating today at #1, on the issue of the Twilight Saga’s casting choices. Kilcher, the actress who starred at 14 years of age as Pocahontas in The New World, is the rising star of Horiwood.Com the past two month. She’s got blog heat and an exciting future in film ahead of her. Q’orianker is 19 years old and has a bright future in mainstream movies.
Horiwood also congratulates Julia Jones III, 30, for landing the role of Leah Clearwater, 19, for Twilight Saga Eclipse. Beating out beautiful, highly accomplished, younger and even more intelligent actresses, is no easy feat. Congratulations too Ms Jones. Perhaps Julia Jones could be a Meryl Streep kind of actress. Meryl is still going strong in her 60s. That could be Julia Jones’ story too if she has staying power in Hollywood.
Here’s how you rated, ranked and voted your news item choices this week here on Horiwood.Com. Enjoy!

Thanks to Entertainment Tonight, the biggest entertainment news show in America that reaches a first watch audience of 14 million, we have this video footage.
Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner’s Entertainment Weekly Magazine photo shoot is captured for your viewing pleasure.
It takes this much work to do a Magazine cover. Actors are models too here in Hollywood.
Blog numbers don’t lie on the internet. Their numbers are 3-4 months ahead of magazines in who the world’s biggest stars are.
These are the top ranking stars and celebrities so far this year, here in Hollywood. For whatever reason, you the global audience on Horiwood.Com voted for them and gave them the attention you feel they deserve as entertainers who amuse you. Enjoy your celebrities for 2009!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may be what everyone perceive to be the most searched for celebrities in the world, but it is actually surprise up-and-coming stars, like Nikki Reid of The Twilight Saga, Johnny Markoudakis of West Hollywood and Miss Tessa (a fashion designer, artist and model) of New Zealand who keep the fame game interesting.
Of course Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett’s deaths and Rihanna’s domestic violence issue with Chris Brown have been some of the biggest media moments this year in entertainment. 2009′s popularity this year however, has to belong to author Stephenie Meyer and the bevvy of young Hollywood actors that she created and spun into young Hollywood superstars with her Twilight Saga novels through Summit Entertainment.
Of noteworthy significance is what Stephenie Meyer has done for Native American people in giving young American ‘Indian’ actors a center stage spotlight in mainstream cinemas again in our times. That’s amazing today, as the blog numbers show.
So, it’s with great pleasure that I present to you, your 50 top celebrities on Horiwood.Com. Thanks Team.
1. NIKKI REID:She is the naughty girl of the Twilight Saga film franchise, whose often held under wraps, by Summit Entertainment. When the heat was on Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s chemistry, it was Nikki’s scene stealing appearance with Native American Indian youngster, Taylor Lautner, that garnered Nikki Reid the top spot all year on Horiwood.Com. This one pic is the most searched for on this entertainment and news website in Hollywood. Reid is a big ‘sleeping’ star in the making.
2. DAVID CARRADINE: the veteran, Hollywood actor’s kinky & mysterious death, was a fascinating look into the darker side of human nature. People all over the world are still interested in David Carradine’s tragic passing.
3. KATHERINE HEIGL: She’s one of the most underpaid TV actresses in prime time. Blake Lively of Gossip Girl earns thousands more than Heigl does on hit medic show, Grey’s Anatomy. Heigl’s costar, Ellen Pompeio does too. Despite, being under appreciated in the TV pay stakes and being gracious about it, Katherine Heigl is often framed as a b*tch by LA media. However, my friends who work on the set of Grey’s each day, say that you will never find a sweeter star whose more of a team player in Hollywood than “Ms Heigl.”
Her divaness to turn on a show Hollywood style becomes apparent on the red carpet, or in the quirky romantic comedy films she appears in (Knocked Up and The Ugly Truth). Heigl channels old Hollywood glamour. She is the real deal, and comes in at #3 on Horiwoood.Com’s most searched for celebrities.
4. HAYDEN PANETTIERE: The stories that the film crew of Heroes TV series, tell in Hollywood of Hayden Panettiere are hysterical. This girl is not a child in any way, but she has a cult teen following here in America. Hayden Panettiere is a young actress who fascinates American girls. They all want to be like her. This image of Hayden in a country straw hat, and cut off shorts, clocks in at number 4 for the year to date, on Horiwood.Com. America loves a country girl gone bad. Add Heroes’ action, super-powers to her and Hayden Panettiere has it made.
5. LADY GAGA: When it comes to the world of pop, there is no other debut artist who has made the impressions with music, attitude and show-personship than Stefani Germanotta’s Lady Gaga creation. She always brings the fierce, is a great songwriter and lyricist; and Lady Gaga will wear anything outrageous to capture a headline every week. She’s a relentless marketing machine. However, it is her claim that Lady Gaga is bisexual, that ensured her rise to fame this year, as this post proves on Horiwood.Com.
6. AMBER ROSE: She is not a singer, she is not an actress. Her claim to fame is that she is an African American model, who happened to date hip hop artist, Kanye West. But Amber Rose totally fascinates people daily on Horiwood.Com. She is the most underrated person on the celebrity set in America. But her fame online supersedes many stars who still say that they are stars. The internet never lies. That’s Amber Rose’s proof in today’s celebrity rankings. This girl is huge!
Her sultry beauty and no nonsense diva attitude, combine the best of fashion, urban chic groove and hip hop music. She just is who she is, a true star as her ratings position and popularity reveals on Horiwood.Com. Amber Rose is the new Nicole Richie, basically.
7. KRISTEN STEWART: The Twilight Saga’s, Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse films show how one author’s vision can create a superstar if they have the beauty, smarts and chops to fill the role. Stephenie Meyer gave actress Kristin Stewart, the chance to show the world who she really is. She’s a stunner and a big star on Horiwood.Com. LA raised, Stewart’s family all work in film, on the crew side of the production line. When Kristen stepped over the gaffer tape line, she has never looked back and a superstar, playing Twilight’s Bella was born.
I love her singing voice too. Like her face, her voice is so pretty and soulful. A girl who can make both Robert Pattinson hot and also Taylor Lautner so hot, has got to have enough sensuality to do this. Stewart proves she has. She is often a hate target of bloggers like PerezHilton.Com and female fans in love with her costar, Robert Pattinson, but Stewart keeps going from strength to strength here in her native LA. We love her!
8. MILEY CYRUS: She is because she is. She stepped into the ready made American shoes, of Britney Spears, teen pop star sensationalism. Having met Miley Cyrus in person, there is nothing to explain why America’s reigning teen superstar has the ranking that she does on Horiwood.Com with our global audience. I swear, Miley is so much prettier in person. She’s also incredibly smart. In person, Cyrus is so humble. That’s the shocking part. She’s a bundle of sweetness that fears God and who is naughty a lot too like any kid her own age, adjusting, growing and living life.
In spite of being a global megastar, Miley Cyrus is just such an American teenager! Love her!!!
9. MICHAEL JACKSON: He was the King of Pop and the third most famous person on the planet, after the Queen of England and The Pope. The world stopped to honor a person who was rich in complexity and talent. He paved the way for all African Americans to be loved in high profile positions in America and worldwide. This cannot be diminished or forgotton as your votes this year show today.
There will never be a performer quite like Michael Jackson. Barry Gordy described Michael Jackson as “the greatest entertainer on the planet” at his memorial service. Too true!
10. FARRAH FAWCETT: Charlie’s Angels hottest star ever. The beauty of Farrah Fawcett was always her strength of spirit. This became apparent as the lovely Farrah left this world, losing her battle to anal cancer. She ranks by all audience viewers worldwide at #10 on Horiwood.Com so far in 2009. What a gem of a human being!
